US F-35s, B-1B Lancers Conduct Flybys to Show ‘Military Options' to Pyongyang
The US has “pretty much exhausted all the things that we can do at the [UN] Security Council at this point,” Nikki Haley, US Ambassador to the UN, said Sunday regarding North Korea’s continued missile tests, adding she would be “perfectly happy” to pass the situation onto Pentagon chief James Mattis who has “plenty of military options.”

NATO stages major military exercise in Latvia after Wales summit
RIGA - NATO staged a major military exercise in Latvia on Saturday in
a practical demonstration of NATO leaders' commitment to defend its
Baltic member states in the face of an assertive Russia.
A NATO meeting in Wales on Friday agreed to form a new rapid reaction force and to step up exercises in eastern Europe in response to Russia's actions in Ukraine.
Allies in the Baltics fear Russian President Vladimir Putin
could use the same rationale as he used to explain intervention in
Crimea - defending Russian speakers - to justify an attack against one
of the NATO countries in the Baltics, which also have Russian-speaking
minorities.

Russia in Continued Military Overhaul (Putin)
Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday it was his government’s priority to defend the nation against potential military threats, with the help of improved armed forces.
“We are bringing [the military] to a whole new level to keep it on par with the requirements of the 21st century,” Putin said in a speech to military academy graduates in the Kremlin.
“It’s evident that only a mobile, highly effective army and fleet are capable of solving the strategic task of securing Russia’s safety, sovereignty and national interests. The main goal is to defend our citizens against potential military threats,” Putin said.

Su-24 crews hold bombing exercise in Kaliningrad region
Bombing and providing air cover for a ground grouping of troops were practiced by pilots from the Baltic Fleet (BF) bombing aviation crews, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
"As part of routine drills the crews of Sukhoi Su-24 frontline bombers of the Fleet's aviation group carried out precision bombing strikes and destroyed the manpower and military hardware of an adversary at an aviation site in the Kaliningrad region," the BF said in a press release obtained by Interfax-AVN on Thursday.
The crews carried out precision bombing against full-size targets simulating engineering structures, manpower and hardware of an adversary.

NATO chief recommits to defending Eastern European, Baltic nations...
BRUSSELS — A reinvigorated NATO flexed old Cold War muscles Tuesday as
the Atlantic alliance’s chief recommitted to defending Eastern European
and Baltic nations rattled by Russia’s military moves and its annexation
of Crimea.
At the opening of a two-day meeting of NATO foreign ministers, Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the alliance has not seen signs of Russian troop withdrawals along the Ukraine border, as Moscow has claimed. A senior U.S. State Department official had called Russia’s promised pullback a “gesture,” but a welcome one.

Vor dem Hintergrund der jüngsten Atomtestdrohung
Nordkoreas starten die USA und Südkorea am Montag ein gemeinsames
Marine-Manöver. Die auf drei Tage angesetzte Militärübung soll im
Japanischen Meer nahe der südkoreanischen Hafenstadt Pohang beginnen. An
der Übung ist nach Angaben aus Seoul auch ein Atom-U-Boot der USA
